OPPO K1 will be the new mid-range smartphone with In-Display Fingerprint Sensor & will be sold via Flipkart, Specifications leaked…
Chinese smartphone maker OPPO is famous for its unique smartphones with great design and cameras. In India they have revolutionized the mid-range smartphone market with its brother VIVO.
OPPO has recently made it to the top 5 best selling smartphone brands across the globe, and is aiming to expand more of its market with new innovative smartphones.
Already the MWC 2019 is knocking the door and all the smartphone brands are gearing up to showcase some of their finest products at the show which is to be held at the end of this month in Barcelona, Spain.
In recent years India has turned out to be one of the most strongest market by OPPO. So, predominantly in India they are to launch this device and provide the costlier tech i.e. the In-Display sensor to the consumers at affordable price points.
After Samsung’s Galaxy M-series launch, which is available only on Amazon, rumours have also come out that OPPO will also cut down its prices to increase their sales.
So, having tied up with Flipkart will help OPPO to reduce the price that is quite inflated in the offline stores. It is also said that the OPPO K1 will be in the sub Rs 20,000 price segment.
Alleged Specifications of OPPO K1:
6.4-inch Full HD+ AMOLED Display with 2340 x 1080 pixels resolution
19.5:9 aspect ratio along with 2.5D curved glass display
64GB internal memory, expandable memory up to 256GB with microSD
Android 8.1 (Oreo) with ColorOS 5.2 on top of it
Dual 4G VoLTE SIM support
16MP rear camera with LED Flash, secondary 2MP camera
25MP front-facing camera
In-display fingerprint sensor
WiFi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz + 5GHz), Bluetooth 5, GPS + GLONASS
3600mAh battery
Overall the specs are quite impressive and if everything goes accordingly, users will get a fine smartphone in the sub Rs 20,000 price segment which will surely attract more buyers.
Previously VIVO launched V11 Pro with the same technology months ago but at a higher price. Now, if OPPO declares this smartphone at an attractive price point, surely more and more people will go for the OPPO K1. The smartphone is set to reveal at 12 PM on 6th February.
The availability and tie up with Flipkart will help OPPO to leverage its new device on to masses and compete with the likes of new smartphones including Samsung Galaxy M series, Redmi Note 6 Pro, Realme U1 and others that are available online.

In search of a good Backup software for your PC or laptop? AOMEI Backupper Software is all you need
In our everyday life, we are totally dependent on our electronic devices for getting things done, for entertainment and for various purposes. PCs or laptops play a vital role in our daily lives.
From work to leisure, we do everything on them and the data that we store on them is very much important for us. So, if mistakenly we lose our data it can really trouble us a lot and recovering them back is very tedious job.
Backing up is a term which we are all familiar with but do we really take backups of our system on a regular basis?
No, instead of the fact that people are dependent mostly on their PCs and laptops, they do not care much about backing up their device.
Well, some might say it is a lengthy and complex process, some may say it takes lot of space, some say backing up to be a waste of time. This is mostly because people are not in touch with simple backup softwares.
Wait! Now, you will again complain that not everyone has or can afford a great backup software. To put an end to this, I am here to introduce a great and effective software which I was given to review – the AOMEI Backupper 4.6.2 software.
AOMEI Backupper Standard 4.6.2
AOMEI Backupper Standard is a free backup software designed for Windows PC. You can protect all data on computer via system backup, file backup, file sync, etc.
As disaster recovery solution, this software will help you restore Windows and files after disaster ASAP. It is also free disk cloning software for upgrading HDD to SSD.
Free softwares are a gem if they work well with your system. Before trying out the professional version I first tried out the Standard free edition of the software as because most people tend to go for the free one first.
The features of the free edition of the software includes:
Backup system and files to protect your Windows
Clone your hard drive to another HDD or SSD; clone data partition from one disk to another
Incremental/Differential Backup and schedule backup files and system
Sync files from one location to another on a regular basis; real-time sync files
Event-trigger backup and sync files: run backup tasks automatically when a user logs on and logs off, system startup, or system shutdown occurs.
Backup or sync files to external drive, USB flash drive, SD card, NAS, network share, mapped network drive, etc.
Review
I first tried out the main highlight of the software i.e. the Backup tool. I first tried to create a system backup of my old laptop running on Windows 10. The software first started to backup my C: Drive that consumes 104.86 GB of space.
To my surprise, the software took the entire backup of my C: Drive in about 45-50 minutes. Well, the speed obviously depends on the hardware of your system, backing up SSD storage drives may prove to be much more fast.
You also get the option to backup your entire system, or any drive in particular or any file or folder. Not only that, you can encrypt your backup, compress it and set standards for it as well.
Restoring the backup is a simple thing for which you have to head over to the Restore option and start restoring your needful disk image or system image that you previously backed up with this software.
Also you can clone your disks or perform a partition clone as well which comes in very handy if you have lot of drives to handle on your system.
Other utilities like Create Bootable Rescue Media or PXE Boot Tool works fine and are really helpful.
AOMEI Backupper Professional 4.6.2
AOMEI Backupper Professional edition, an advanced backup and restore software, contains all features of the Standard edition, provides complete and reliable PC backup and restore strategies for Windows 10/8/8.1/7/XP/Vista.
The professional edition is a bit advanced form of the Standard Free edition and includes some more useful benefits. Here are all the specs of the Professional edition:
Clone: supports OS migration from HDD/SSD to HDD/SSD without reinstalling
Sync: supports file/folder sync, real-time sync
Utilities: PXE boot tool, create bootable USB or CD/DVD, command line backup and restore, etc.
Multi-Language support
Review
To be very honest, I was too bored with Microsoft’s own Backup system that consumes lot of storage space on my hard disk. So, when I was given to review the AOMEI Backupper Professional I felt excited.
Like the free edition, the basic tasks works the same and the extra features are really useful for your PC or laptop. The extra benefits that I totally enjoyed were:
Restore system to dissimilar hardware, System clone, Command line backup, Merge backup images, Backup disk space management, PXE boot tool with unlimited client computers support.
The best thing that I like about the Professional edition is the Universal Restore option that gives you to restore anything on to any drive or disk to any of your system having this software installed.
Useful options like System Clone and Merge Image Backups are very helpful for users. Overall, all of the premium options work pretty well and the Professional option is the perfect option if you are looking for a good Backup software for your home PC and laptop.
Another great thing is that when you purchase the software, you get to license two of your PCs or laptops or both your PC and laptop.
Price & Availability
The Professional Edition of the AOMEI Backupper 4.6.2 will cost you $49.95, which is a bit hefty at first but yes it’s a good one-time investment as well.
Well, if you are just a normal PC user just require to do basic backups then the normal free version will get your things done. Check out the backup freeware.
If you are a tech nerd like me and own a lot of PCs or laptops with lots of drives and get confused about your data and need great backup software, you can doubt go for this software.
Do tell us your views regarding the software in the commands below… 🙂

Copa del Rey holders Barcelona have been drawn against bitter rivals Real Madrid in a semi-final Clasico.
The Spanish giants will now face off against each other three times within a month, with both legs of their cup clash before their Liga meeting on 2nd March. The first leg will take place on 6th February at Camp Nou, with the second leg taking place on 27th February at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The two giants of Spanish football have held a monopoly over the Copa del Rey in recent years, winning eight of the last 10 editions between them.
Barcelona are going in search of their fifth successive domestic cup triumph. While Santiago Solari’s side is already 10 points behind Barca in La Liga. The Copa del Rey offers Santiago Solari his most realisitc opportunity of domestic silverware. Therefore, his first two Clasico matches as Madrid manager are likely to hold extra significance.
The draw also sees Madrid faced with a daunting gauntlet of matches during the first two weeks of February across three competitions. They face fifth-place Alaves in La Liga at Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday before their trip to Catalunya for the first leg of their Copa Clasico double-header.
Solari’s side then face local rivals Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metripolitano on 9th February before travelling to Amsterdam to face Ajax in the Champions League four days later. Then they will again play the second leg of the Copa semi final against Barcelona on 27th February. These matches will be a real test of character for Solari’s men.
While Valencia and Real Betis are the other two teams who face off in the other semi-final of the Copa del Rey.

Sony’s anticipated flagship – Xperia XZ4 – is expected to break cover at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in Barcelona, Spain next month. While we have a fair idea of what to expect from the new smartphone, a leaked specifications sheet has surfaced online that reveals the entire specification of the Xperia XZ4.
This leaked specifications sheet shared by SumahoInfo points to a 6.5-inch OLED display with a longer 21:9 aspect ratio and QHD+ resolution (1440×3360 pixels). This OLED panel is said to have support for HDR and is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top.
It is expected to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. It will also have a IP68 certification making it dust and water resistant. With Android 9.0 Pie out of the box, it also packs a 4,400mAh battery which supports Qnovo Adaptive charging, USB PD as well as Qi wireless charging.
Lastly, the Sony Xperia XZ4 is rumoured to come in a new Deep Purple colour apart from the Black, Silver, and Blue colour options. Price and availability of the Xperia XZ4 are unknown at the moment but we will get those details after the launch at MWC 2019.
After Manchester United reached an agreement with Shandong Luneng, Fellaini has already passed a medical and will sign a three-year deal.
Marouane Fellaini has struggled for game time since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford. He was a key player under Jose Mourinho and signed a new deal until 2020, with the option of another year, in the summer. The caretaker boss has relied on the Belgium international a lot less than his predecessor.
Fellaini has only featured for 3 minutes in the Premier League under the Norwegian and was a second-half substitute in United’s third-round FA Cup victory over Reading. Although a calf injury has ruled him out of recent matches.
The Belgian posted a photograph to his Instagram from Brussels airport on Thursday morning.
Solskjaer said at the start of the week that he did not expect any United exits before Thursday’s English transfer deadline and was coy about the Belgium international’s future following Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with Burnley.
Asked if there was anything he could say on Fellaini, the caretaker manager said: “To be honest, no. I’ve been busy all day and I don’t really know the latest update on that one. Just wait and see.”
Fellaini’s exit looms just a matter of weeks after Solskjaer bemoaned the absence of the injured midfielder and his “X factor”.
Fellaini’s current club Manchester United are expected to receive around £7m for his services.
The Chinese transfer window doesn’t close until 28 February but Shandong Luneng are reportedly hoping to complete the deal as quickly as possible in order to avoid potential disruptions during next week’s Chinese New Year.
The deal is subject to paperwork but it seems Fellaini’s five-and-a-half year stay at Old Trafford is as good as over.

Mohun Bagan rallied from a goal down to hold Gokulam Kerala FC 2-2 in an I-League encounter at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Wednesday. Virtually out of title contention after losing to arch-rivals East Bengal, the green and maroons took the lead through Shilton D’Silva’s 18th minute goal only to hand over the advantage three minutes later when Lalchhawnkima (21st) put the ball in his own net.
Mohun Bagan now have 22 points from 15 matches and their title hopes are as good as over.
Shilton D’Silva made an impact in his comeback match, giving the Mariners an 18th minute lead from a Sony Norde’s curling corner.
But what followed was a brain fade in the home team’s camp with Lalchhawnkima finding his own net with a misplaced clearance from Bijesh Balan’s cross in the 21st minute.
Within a space of three minutes, Marcus Joseph capitalised on a pass from Suhair VP before shooting the ball over Shilton Paul to give the Kerala outfit a superb 2-1 lead inside the half-an-hour mark.
At the hour mark, Dipanda Dicka (60th) equalised to avoid an upset. In the final minutes of the game, Jamil introduced Mehtab Hossain to add some steel in the midfield but their lack of cutting edge in the attacking third did not help in their search for the winner.
Gokulam Kerela dominated the hosts in the midfield as Mohun Bagan struggled to get the ball. In the eighth minute, Mohun Bagan wasted two chances with Dipanda’s scissor kick coming off the crosspiece, while moments later Kisseka’s header was off target.
The result meant both teams did not make any movement in the points table with Mohun Bagan staying in sixth spot (22 points from 15 matches) while Gokulam remained on ninth (12 points from 14 matches).
Mohun Bagan coach Khalid Jamil made three changes to the side that went down against East Bengal. Arijit Bagui, Azharuddin Mallick and Shilton got the nod ahead of Abhishek Ambekar, Pintu Mahata and Darren Caldeira respectively.

Denis Suarez will join Arsenal until the end of the season with an option to buy, which is believed to be around €20m.
Denis Suarez played under Unai Emery at Sevilla in 2014-15 season. So they know each other well. But Suarez has barely featured for Barcelona this season, making only eight appearances – two of them as a starter in the Copa del Rey.
Suarez has signed an extension at Barca until 2021, as Barcelona wants to protect their assest. He will now be free to complete the short-term move to the North London side.
Arsenal have to plan for the exit of Aaron Ramsey at the end of the season, as Ramsey has agreed to join Juventus. Suarez is a midfielder with good technique and positional sense, blessed with touch and vision. He tends to play on the left of a midfield three or an attacking three. Suarez is not best known for his defensive contributions in midfield, although his arrival could ease the pressure on players such as Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi and Granit Xhaka to orchestrate attacks.
Emery said: “My idea is the same. If we can sign one player to come and help us that is good for us. We need wingers. And if one player like Denis Suárez … I know him because he played with me in Sevilla. His qualities are this [as a winger]. He can help solve the winger issue.”
Valverde says the deal is not quite finalised but hopes the move will benefit all parties, with Suarez eager for regular football after making only two LaLiga appearances this season. “I know Denis was in this situation. It’s not official yet and we have to wait a little,” Valverde told a news conference on Tuesday when asked for the latest on Arsenal’s approach. “It was a possibility that everyone valued, and we hope that things go well.”
